I am an Uber and Amazon driver in the Cincinnati area. I was recently introduced to drones/quads by my son attending drone camp. The drone he received for attending (eachine h8). It was a complete heap that I never saw fly. He actually was given a second one that also refused to fly. I felt so bad for him and angry at them, until I saw how much a replacement would cost. I fully expected to pay $100-200 to replace it, but was pleasantly surprised, and kinda angered, that they had the exact same thing on Amazon.com for $18! Not only that, but there were 1000's of other options for right around the same price. I am a penny-pincher. I hate to spend more than I absolutely have to for anything, so I began my due diligence and I spent a week researching which were good and which are crap. I ended up buying him an udi u818hd+, but I found a good deal ($16) on a u839 at a local b&m nearby and I wanted to try. So far I have bought 2 u839's, a u32, and the u818, but I have owned 4 839's. Youngest son killed a motor on his first flight, and I wired a battery backwards and fried mine's fc. B&m replaced them both without question and I have logged easily 100 hours between all of them. Then I found fpv racing and my heart skipped a beat!
I am now doing my diligence to build my own nano fpv. I wanna stay under 100mm, but I need to move to brushless. I've only been at this for a few months and already I have replaced 3-4 motors and various other mods to my fleet for minimal gain. Now, I wanna run with the big dogs! I'll be around asking questions while I develop my parts list, so I'll be seeing you all around!

Welcome drjyp01!  (Hard to pronounce!)

You might check out the rotoriousfpvunderground group on facebook.   They have several sub 100mm brushless models and a huge support group.

oh man... penny pincher and quad flyer... sounds like more and more intense internal conflicts in your future! (Un)Fortunately I am only one of those two things... and it's not the one related to squeezing.

Welcome to IntoFPV! We're glad you're hear and there are quite a few people talking about brushless micros lately so I am sure you can find some great experience around here. I know when its time to do my own this will be where I come to get help or to get encouragement at the minimum.

Great to have you drjyp01!
I'm about 40 minutes north of Dayton and we travel to Cinci every year for Thanksgiving

Welcome! Good to hear it's a family hobby, will be so much fun and so much cool stuff for your kids to learn!

Welcome buddy

Welcome Drjyp01, Sorry you had a bad experience with the Eachine H8, I have to say that for a $13 quad it is actually pretty good. It can be flashed with Acro firmware so it fly's like a 'proper' quad, you can control it with a 'proper' devo TX flashed with Deviation Firmware, just have a look on youtube at some of the stuff people have managed to do with it! On the subject of brushless micro's, I am waiting to receive a 'Bat 100' from BangGood, it is a 100mm stretched 'X' frame running DShot600 from a 6A 4-in-1 ESC to 7mm brushless motors which swing 'LadyBird' props. Ships PNP (Plug and Play, need batteries, RX and battery charger) for under $100 see my preview here.
